Radiohead - Paranoid Android: YouTube Artists Mix by OHADI22

I’m completely in love with this.

Steve: I kept seeing this show up on my dashboard and so I finally watched it and, OK fine, it wasn’t bad. I almost didn’t make it past the girl that sings the first verse, but I persevered and was rewarded with some decent guitar efforts, besides - there’s never been a Radiohead cover in which the vocals didn’t completely suck ass.

However, more impressive than all the pieces themselves is the editing work by this OHADI22 person. He somehow managed to take 36 clips of questionable audio quality and mix them into something more listenable than one would expect and that alone is worth recognition.

Finally, let us all remember that Paranoid Android is one of the greatest compositions of all time. The fact that the music translates so well into so many different genres and styles is a credit to the great writing and arranging on the original track.

This is pretty damn good. Rivers’ voice is the weakest link, but Josh Freese is a chameleon drummer that can quite literally duplicate anything he hears, so he rocks the shit out of the drums, and my boy Pat Wilson shreds the hell out of the solo at the end of the song (at least he’s the one playing lead in the video, but it could very well be Rivers playing the lead guitar on the recording (Rivers could out-shred Steve fucking Vai if he wanted to)).

I prefer almost all of Bazan’s music to that of Radiohead and I especially like this Bazan cover of a Radiohead song more than I like the original song.
